That Donald Trump thinks the Supreme Court would decide a case based on a political speech by Ronald Reagan—instead of the law—is an admission that he knows the current, corrupt Court is a practitioner of politics, not a protector of laws.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

The Ronald Reagan video denouncing tariffs, which Donald is in such a snit about, was posted to YouTube eight years ago. It is authentic. Donald is lying. It is not AI. We are living in such twisted times, when Ronald Reagan's own words are offensive to Republicans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t5Q...

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

🚨 Five former Secretaries of Defense have signed a letter demanding Congress hold immediate hearings regarding the firing of senior military officers. No doubt 🤡 and his band of Russian asshat assets will use their bully pulpit to bully them. Let’s not be bystanders. @votevets.org
Letter from 5 former Secretaries of Defense calling for ASAP hearings re. firings of military officers:

Appeal to the Congress from Former Secretaries of Defense
2/27/2025
We are deeply alarmed by President Trump's recent dismissals of several senior U.S. military leaders. We write to urge the U.S. Congress to hold Mr. Trump to account for these reckless actions and to exercise fully its Constitutional oversight responsibilities.
The President offered no justification for his actions, even though he had nominated these officers for previous positions and the Senate had approved them. These officers' exemplary operational and combat experience, as well as the coming dismissals of the Judge Advocates General of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force, make clear that none of this was about warfighting.
Mr. Trump's dismissals raise troubling questions about the administration's desire to politicize the military and to remove legal constraints on the President's power. We, like many Americans -- including many troops -- are therefore left to conclude that these leaders are being fired for purely partisan reasons.
As former Secretaries of Defense, we call on both the House and the Senate to hold immediate hearings to assess the national security implications of Mr. Trump's dismissals. The House and Senate should demand that the administration justify each firing and fully explain why it violated Congress' legislative intent that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff complete a four-year term in office. General C.Q.
Brown Jr. had not yet completed two years in the job. In the meantime, Senators should refuse to confirm any new Defense Department nominations, including that of retired Lt. General Dan Caine as the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
President Trump's actions undermine our all-volunteer force and weaken our national security. Talented Americans may be far less likely to choose a life of military service if they believe they will be held to a polit…
